Back around 5000 years ago when the star VAaturus 32 was overcrowded and their environment degraded, VASA sent 1000 Snior offices in their round-shaped voyagers...

It's the crop irrigation.

I have another question...

Are the circle crops watered clock-wise or counter clockwise?
Or are they watered both ways?

I know my question sounds silly that I would want to know.
But I do have a reason for asking. Thanks.
